2002. Acrylic on stretched canvas. 18"x24".

This carnivorous dinosaur of the Late Jurassic period may have been as big as a Tyrannosaurus rex. Because its remains are fragmentary, some paleontologists refer to it as Allosaurus maximus while others have named it Saurophaganax maximus.

• Dinosaur Encyclopaedia 7.0 is a hypertext reference program in PDF format containing information on all known and characterized dinosaurs and Mesozoic birdsdescribed up until July, 2003.. The point and click format makes the program suitable for all ages, from primary school to adult. For each genus there is a summary that includes the family type (with pictorial representation), geological era, size, location, name meaning, type of fossils, comments, valid species and in many cases an illustration. In a second section all species are listed, and for each species, individual specimens are listed with catalogue number, detailed description, and location information (including formation, site, lat.long grid reference and a position reference to accompanying location maps). To complete each genus section there is an extensive list of literature references. Other sections of the encyclopaedia cover dinosaur and bird families, important discovery sites, egg and footprint taxa, and essays on a number of topics such as dinosaurs and birds, extinction, endothermy, classifiaction, fossilisation, dinosaurs from different countries, geological eras, etc. All sections have their own reference lists. As well as location maps, there is a 450 term supplementary glossary file. The information can be browsed, or accessed by name, country of origin, size or geological time period, or searched by individual words or from extensive indexes. Author: Graeme Worth HyperWorks Reference Software.

  The Dinosaur Encyclopaedia provides information on all known dinosaurs and is updated every 12 months. For individual dinosaurs the information is much more detailed than can be found on any web site, and the number of dinosaurs covered is more than in any other software package. The information is compiled from various scientific sources including original journal articles, and hundreds of journal references are included for users to research further their own interests. Price for a new user is Aust$40 (~US$30), and updates cost Aust$10. For more information contact Graeme Worth at gmbra@it.net.au
